The calmness of the middle-aged scribe in front of him fell into Jiang Ergou's eyes, and it was not frank, but it was all bitter. Especially the middle-aged scribe's mouth still has a hint of self-deprecation.

The middle-aged scribe's sudden guilty body made Jiang Ergou a little unsure of how to answer, but the middle-aged scribe in front of him really didn't look like a person with a heinous crime.

Perhaps it was a little sad at this point, but the middle-aged scribe was not able to retract his thoughts for a while, and he did not come back to his senses until the calmness on his face completely disappeared and his eyes turned red.

Let the two of them smile, just remember that the past events are indeed a little regretful, but no matter what is no longer important, now I just want to let the bitter cold border also float the sound of reading. ”

Jiang Ergou had the heart to comfort him, but he really didn't know where to start, but at this time, He Huaichun stood up, he had never been in contact with these Wen Zou Zou scholars, so naturally he didn't have to worry about anything and just blurted out.

But no matter what mistakes you made in the past, didn't we still cut off your head, which means that the person at the top still thinks that you are not hopeless, and you don't need to blame yourself, and teaching in the cold wind blowing on the border is a punishment for you. ”

After He Huaichun finished speaking, Jiang Ergou took the opportunity to take the words.

"I don't know who Mr.'s name is, no matter what the past is, this opening of the class is a great merit, and when I meet my old friend in the future, I will mention him. ”

The middle-aged scribe only regarded the stranger's old friend as a scholar with a heart for the world, so he did not deliberately hide his name.

"Liu Shenyu, the county guard of Wanshan County, Lingzhou, was in office two years ago when the Great Chu drought occurred, and it stands to reason that it should have been the time to ask for the people's lives, but under the bewitchment of the local master and his own greed, he was blinded by lard, and most of the disaster relief food distributed in the court was greedy, although he woke up later, but it was still too late, but the saint left me alive to let me survive, and now I am running a school on this border, half of which is to thank the emperor for his grace, and half of it is to hope to atone for himself. ”

Jiang Ergou heard the middle-aged scribe's self-narration with a look of enlightenment on his face, no wonder he would say that he was guilty, it turned out that the reason was here!

But there are people in this world who can never make mistakes, even the saints have the truth of making mistakes, let alone these students who are reading with their books in their hands.

"Mr. Liu, it doesn't hurt to be wrong, although Jiang doesn't know how to write and don't dare to say that he is crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, but in the end, he has also fought a few times on this big river and lake, and now he has a lot of lives on his hands, but how dare I say that the lives in my hands are all people who should be killed? Although I often feel a little guilty but I have never regretted it, I am a martial artist, naturally I don't understand what you literati think in your hearts, but some of the truths are the same, Mr. just strode forward, he doesn't have to care about the regrets and sadness of the past, if Mr. can really make this thousand-mile border full of books in the future, then what is the mistake in the past? Thousands of years later, the reader will not be so careful. ”

Liu Shenyu, who was assigned to the border after being convicted, felt comfortable for the first time, even when the king of Liaodong allowed him to resign from his position as a pen official in the army and start a academy.

"After listening to the words of the two of you, it is really better than reading for ten years, I used to only hold books as a treasure, but now I feel more and more that the truth of being a man is outside the book. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Shenyu laughed at himself again, but this time he didn't laugh at himself for being guilty.

"I have really read the books of the sages for ten years in vain, and I don't even understand the simplest truths! The words are in the books, but the knowledge is in the bottom of the heart, the truth is in the books, but the life is outside the books. If I had understood this earlier, I wouldn't have made such a big mistake. ”

Jiang Ergou was sincerely a little happy, although he didn't like to read, but he liked to talk to these readers, obviously some very simple things, people can summarize the big truth, although he can't understand it very well.

"You two shouldn't have come to teach me a lesson, and you won't come to my academy for no reason, but is there anyone in my academy that you are looking for? Do you need me to go in and call him out? ”

Jiang Ergou looked into the room, and also heard the sound of Tian Rongguan's kid reading, and he didn't know if he was a little competitive, and the children's reading was the loudest among him.

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Ergou still dispelled the idea of calling him out, in fact, if he thought about it carefully, it didn't seem to have anything special to say, it was nothing more than that Ergou wanted to see his only friend on the border before leaving.

"Don't dare to hide it, sir, I do have a friend who is studying in it, but I don't need to call him out, just Mr. Lao told me a word to the kid named Tian Rongguan in the house: Let him not forget the agreement with a Jiang Shaoxia, even if he has a chance to study in the future and doesn't practice martial arts, don't forget, no matter what, I will wait for him in the capital in three years!"

Liu Shenyu nodded silently in agreement, he used to only read books and make people stupid, but he came to the border and blew the grassland wind and sand, so he became much more sober, and even contaminated with some of the rivers and lakes that he hated the most before, but now he likes it a little.

Watching the two young men with swords and swords walk out of the distance, Liu Shenyu suddenly wanted to drink, and it had to be the kind that he drank in a big bowl, and before their figures disappeared, Liu Shenyu grinned.

"Hehe, I'll try it when I get out of school!"

......

Although the Liaodong front is extremely long, it should be the Liaozhou front that is extremely long, which is also the main reason why the grassland barbarians are difficult to guard.

Liaozhou not only borders Lingzhou and Yuzhou to the south, but even a small gap appears in Bianzhou, where Kyoto is located.

And Jinzhou, which is called the Liaodong Front together with Liaozhou, is much smaller, but it is precisely because of the narrow terrain that Liaozhou has been relieved of a lot of pressure.

Although the strength of the eastern Turks is not very good, if they can also come out like the steppe barbarians, it will also be a trouble for Great Chu.

It can be said that the narrow terrain directly limits most of the strength of the Turks in these eastern mountains and forests, and the only few main roads out of the mountains are guarded by the army of Dachu, and daring to jump out is the life of becoming a live target!

In the past two years, the border has become more and more stable, not only for those barbarians on the steppe, but even the Turks in the mountains and forests have gradually lost their temper, but all the border troops of Dachu know that when these two places start to make trouble next time, it will not be so easy to suppress.

......

On the official road from Lingzhou to Liaozhou, a Taoist priest wearing a tattered Taoist robe walked slowly with a pole and a broken flag.

Maybe there were no people on the road, and the voice of the Taoist priest shouting and telling the hexagram was much quieter, and if he was far away, he couldn't hear it clearly.

"There are thousands of causes and effects in the world, and all kinds of fate and laws, but they can't escape a hexagram in the hands of the old way! Count the future, count the marriage, count the good and the bad, there is nothing in the world that the old way cannot be counted!"

Although the voice of this old Taoist shouting is small, the content of his shouting is a little scary, if he is really that powerful, isn't it only the Taoist Zhang Tianshi who is alive to come and compare with him!

But even if he is a powerful god operator, it is useless, no matter how big or small his ability is, just by this dress he will definitely have no sound.

It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, this old way is not to dress up like a fairy, at least you should wash the clothes and come out again!

If you meet your peers, you will have to be ridiculed by them: Why do you still want to come out and cheat people out of money? I think you might as well change your livelihood and ask for food, it's a bit of a waste if you don't do this business with this clothes.

Fortunately, he didn't meet any peers, and along the way, there were indeed some fools who believed him and shouted to him to tell the hexagram, which allowed him to find a few dollars and not be starved to death, otherwise, I don't know where this old Taoist priest is going to die!

Walking and walking, a tea stall appeared in front, and the old Taoist priest walked over and sat down without saying a word, and only shouted to the tea shed after placing his broken flag of fortune telling.

"Little Er, let's have a pot of tea!"

"Hey, objectivity, here!"

Xiao Er, who was still in the store, immediately responded enthusiastically when he heard the voice, but when he came out and saw that it was a poor old Taoist priest, his face was a little down.

Especially looking at the old Taoist priest's dress, he doesn't look like a person who can afford to eat, and I don't know if he can afford this pot of tea after he has cleaned his whole body.

Throwing the teapot on the table with a clatter, Xiao Er said coldly.

"Old Taoist, our small shop has a rule, pay first and then eat and drink tea, this pot of tea is not expensive, seven copper plates, you see if you pay the money first!"

The old Taoist priest didn't seem to notice the unkindness in this little er's tone, and just waved his sleeves and threw out a few copper coins.

Xiao Er picked it up one by one and counted it repeatedly, just seven no more, no less, and got the money, and the shopkeeper did not ridicule the old Taoist priest anymore but turned around and entered the tea shed.

Continuing to walk from here, it won't be long before it enters the territory of Liaozhou, so the business of this tea shed located at the junction of the two states is also very good, and it didn't take long for the few tables that were originally few to fill up with customers.

At this moment, another guest came from the direction of Lingzhou, this guest is not ordinary, a long sword at his waist looks valuable, and the burden behind him is also swollen at a glance, it is not less silver!

The most important point is that this guest is still a woman, and even if she is a woman, it is not a big deal, but this woman is fortunate to see the extreme, her face and body are not to say that she is first-class, and the most important thing is that the pink dress sets off her like a fairy!

As soon as this dusty woman came to the tea stall, she let the guests at each table fry the pot, if there were not too many people, everyone was embarrassed to be the first to shoot, and the woman's side was already full of people.

Looking at the situation in the tea stall, the woman frowned, and then shouted towards the tea stall.

"Shopkeeper!"

"Hey, come on!"

Unlike when he ignored the old Taoist priest, the shopkeeper, who had long noticed the movement outside, immediately ran over and asked very earnestly.

"Woman, if you have any orders, you can do it. ”

"I'm not used to sitting with people, you find me a place to come out!"

"This..."

The other requirements are easy to say, but if he is asked to drive people away from a shopkeeper, he is not looking for a fight! The key is that the shopkeeper is not here today, and if he does not handle it well, he will have to lose his job tomorrow.

Looking around, just when the little two were still in trouble, he suddenly saw the old Taoist priest sitting at a table alone, and now he found his direction.

The shopkeeper walked up to the old Taoist priest with high spirits, and he slapped the table vigorously to wake up the Taoist priest who was squinting and napping.

"Hey, hey, hey, old Taoist, how long have you been drinking this pot of tea, and you really think this place is your broken Taoist temple?

The old Taoist priest was still not angry, but he had no intention of leaving, so he just sat in his position with a smile.

"Your shopkeeper's words are wrong, since I paid for the tea, you don't care how long I do it, as long as I hand over the money to you, I will be your guest, and there is a reason to drive guests away in this world!"

"That's it, this store is rushing customers, we won't come next time!"

Some guests who drank tea and ate to watch the excitement were not too big to coax.

And this store to do business, no matter how big or small the business is, it is taboo to catch up with customers, thinking of this, the sweat on the forehead of the shopkeeper immediately seeped out, and the shopkeeper went out today, he was indeed a little carried away, if the shopkeeper knew that he would be able to pack up his burden and leave tomorrow.

Thinking of this, the tone of the shopkeeper immediately softened.

"I said this Daoist, your rest time here is not short, not to mention that there are guests waiting to rest over there! You see that this will not work, I will return the tea money to you, and this pot of tea today is considered as what I invited you to drink. ”

The old Taoist priest first glanced at the woman, and then said to the shopkeeper.

"I have a relationship with those seven copper coins, they have been following Lao Dao for twenty years and have not spent them, today I thought I would be able to get rid of this cause and effect, but I didn't expect them to return to Lao Dao's sleeve in the end. ”

The shopkeeper didn't think that this old man had any great skills, but he thought he was talking nonsense, turned around and went into the store to return the seven black copper coins paid by the old way.

After collecting the copper coin, the old Taoist priest got up and took the flag and was about to leave, but when he passed by the woman, he suddenly stood up.

"Xiao Nizi, since you saved me a pot of tea money, then Lao Dao must count a hexagram for you. ”

"No, you don't. ”

The voice of the cold woman was as cold as her face, and she rejected the old Taoist's proposal with just three words.

In this regard, the old Taoist priest just took out the seven black copper coins again in a hurry, and then said slowly.

"Girl, don't be in a hurry to refuse, these seven copper coins are the cause, the pot of tea just now is the fruit, the most annoying thing about Lao Dao's life practice is to owe people cause and effect, and these seven copper coins are the cause of their own, let them repay the fruit by themselves!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the woman to reply, the old Taoist priest threw the copper coin to the ground, seeing that the old Taoist had already moved, and the woman also stayed in place, he wanted to see what the old Taoist could calculate.

After a closer inspection, the old Taoist priest picked up the copper coin and put it back in his sleeve before asking the woman.

"Girl's trip to the north?"

"Exactly!"

"It's best not to go north, if you can return to the south, the girl will be rich and noble in her life!"

Hearing this, an imperceptible smile hung on the corner of the heroine's mouth.

"Old Taoist, my family is already rich and noble, and I still need to fight for these things?"

The old Taoist priest replied indifferently.

"In short, it is best to return to the south, and you can't go to the north. ”

The woman didn't answer, she only regarded the old Taoist priest as a warlock who could only cheat and eat and drink, as for the old Taoist priest's profound words, she didn't take it to heart, and after the red lips lightly said the word sick, she walked away and sat down on the seat.

The old Taoist priest looked a little helpless, but some heavenly numerology can only be pointed, otherwise, even those who cultivate the Tao will have to pay a great price.

After turning around, the old Taoist priest muttered in a low voice that only he could hear.

"The girl will not have much suffering in her life, but only the matter of marriage will always hurt the girl the most. ”
